Nuclear specialists have completed the overhaul of Unit 6 with equipment modernization at the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant (Voronezh Region) ahead of schedule. This was reported by Rosatom's press service.
The Director of the Nuclear Power Plant, Vladimir Povarov, said that specialists modernized the automatic regulation and protection system of the turbine and updated the turbine generator lubrication system with the installation of an additional oil cooler.
This will allow the turbine to maintain operability at high ambient temperatures.
In addition, workers installed a cooling tower sprinkler weight system, which signals the need for their chemical cleaning or replacement.
Thanks to the early repair (three days earlier), the Novovoronezh Nuclear Power Plant will additionally generate about 73 million kWh. This is enough to provide electricity to 290 thousand apartments for 1 month.
